Kirk was very mysterious, and no one even knew his name, but as a genius doctor, Sean was different. He often had to attend medical conventions and didn't hide that he was friends with Kirk, which attracted many people's attention.Both Jane and Daphne knew his name. Jane knew it because the Collins family was already one of the big four families, so she kept tabs on families more prominent than hers. Daphne knew Sean's name because she hadn't been able to find any information about Kirk, except that he was good friends with Sean. Hence, his name had left an impression on her."That's me." Sean turned around to face the man who had rushed over.The man hurriedly approached Sean, nodded solemnly, and said, "I'm really sorry! I'm the person in charge of this store. I'll compensate for my subordinates' incompetence. We'll do whatever you want!" The man's tone showed his sincerity.Sean pointed at Jane and Daphne and ordered, "Ban these two from your store for life."When the man
Four security guards came in, grabbed Jane and Daphne, and threw them out. The bodyguards Daphne had brought didn't dare to stop them and just slinked out of the store with her and Jane.After dealing with them, the person in charge ran to Sean again. He said, "Mr. Yates, Mr. Eddy asked me to hand this to you."Sean glanced at the item. It was a card."There are 200 thousand dollars on this card. You can spend it at any store under Morrison Corp. Mr. Eddy said it's a token of apology," the person in charge explained.Gwen clicked her tongue at his words and nudged Caroline with her arm.Caroline had never seen Eddy be so generous in their eight years together. Even Eddy had to lower himself in front of someone more powerful than him.200 thousand dollars was just a drop in the bucket for Sean, but when he thought of Kirk, he smiled and kept the card. "You're lucky that Mr. Eddy knows how to deal with people. We'll just leave this matter at that, but I won't be so kind the next
Sean dropped Caroline off at Thorne Corp before driving Gwen to the city center. When they reached the underground parking lot, Gwen was about to take off her seat belt when Sean held her hand.Gwen's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm. She asked, "What are you doing?""Don't you have anything to say?" Sean asked in return, looking at Gwen with a tender smile.Gwen's heart beat wildly as he watched her. She said insincerely, "What?"Sean moved closer, maintaining an appropriate distance. He said, "I helped your friend today, you know …" He looked at her, silently asking for a reward.Although there was a distance between them, Gwen could still feel Sean's breath on her cheeks. She felt uneasy and wanted to cover her face.Sean grabbed her wrist and stared at her with a burning gaze. "Gwen, I know you're not ready to take the next step, but I'm not in a hurry. But you have to give me a treat once in a while so that I can have some hope as I wait for your answ
Even though Kirk had seen through him in a second, Sean didn't get embarrassed. He only laughed and said, "There's no need to be so calculative between us." As he spoke, he turned the steering wheel. Then, his tone turned serious. "I mean it. It doesn't feel good to see Caroline pinching pennies because of you."Kirk's finger was on his temple as he said, "I got it." This meant that he would deal with it, so Sean didn't pursue the topic anymore.After hanging up, Kirk went back into the conference room. He saw Howard, who was looking at him in anticipation, and said blandly, "You can leave now."The smile on Howard's face froze. "But Mr. Morrison, I'm here today to report about …"Kirk shot Howard a look, making him shut up. He had no choice but to leave obediently.Once Howard left, Kirk called Charles in. "Give Daphne a few more roles."Pained, Charles said, "Yes, sir.""Come back here." Kirk's gaze was dark as he said, "I don't mean a secondary or tertiary character. Gi
"Besides, if Eddy's second uncle keeps getting into new industries in the country, who knows if the Morrison Corporation will end up in Eddy's hands or his second uncle's?"Jane was taken aback when she heard that. "If Eddy's uncle ends up on top, he would be unstoppable. He'll have control of both the markets in Sarcozia and Easton. That's unheard of.""That's right." Howard chuckled. "That's why you have to develop a good relationship with Daphne. As for what happened today …" Howard frowned. "Don't let it happen again."Jane felt displeased at this. "But Caroline caused Brie's condition. Are we just going to let her off?""Didn't you just say that Sean Yates is her man?" Howard's gaze turned dark at this. "He's good friends with Eddy's second uncle, and their relationship seems strong. We can't offend her. Once Eddy's second uncle takes over both markets, we can bring up this matter again and exaggerate it. If he still likes Daphne, then we'll be lucky. We might be able to
Since he had gotten together with Caroline, Kirk seemed to have become much funnier. On the other end of the line, Daphne wasn't in as good a mood as Charles. Looking at the roles that her manager had sent over, she knew that she was in trouble.Her manager comforted her. "Look on the bright side. At least this is to help you improve your acting skills. No one's plotting against you behind your back."Yet Daphne didn't think the same way. Would she have to suffer this injustice if she were really Mrs. Morrison? At this thought, Kirk's image appeared in Daphne's mind. Although it had been a month since she had seen him, Daphne could still clearly recall his features. He was handsome and cold. When she saw him, she wanted to conquer him.Daphne knew men the best. She could definitely land Kirk!…When Kirk's car arrived at the villa, he knew that Caroline had already reached home. The lights shining through from the living room were proof of it. Kirk smiled. But when he thou
Caroline regarded Kirk seriously. After a long while, she hugged his arm and looked into his eyes. "Kirk, tell me. Are you quitting because of me or because of yourself?"Kirk smiled slightly. "Why do you ask that?""Because if it's for my sake, I hope you won't make such a rash decision. But if it's for your own sake, I will support you unconditionally, no matter what you choose."Kirk paused. At that moment, he realized that what he saw as a simple matter was a huge gamble for Caroline. He gently put his head on her shoulder. Warmth spread over him, and emotions overwhelmed his heart."Even if the company suffers losses?""That's okay." Caroline smiled toward Kirk. "I trust you. If you can handle so many big shots so easily, you can definitely do this!"When he saw how much Carolien trusted him, he suddenly found himself at a loss for words. He could only kiss her forehead gently and say, "I won't let you down."Caroline laughed as she got up. "Let's eat."Kirk passed Car
After satiating his desire, Kirk was in a good mood and pulled Caroline into his arms. He was playing with her fingers as he broke the situation down and analyzed it for her."There's nothing Sloan Mackey really cares about. He doesn't care about money, but his father is different. After all, he had built his empire with his own hands back in the day. He knows very well what that was like.""What you mean is that I should talk to his father," Caroline replied."Smart girl." Kirk kissed Caroline's lips.Caroline smiled as she looked at Kirk. The way she was looking at him made Kirk feel a little panicked. "What is it?" he asked. Had he accidentally exposed himself?"It's nothing. I just think you have a great eye for analyzing problems. You understand the point in a flash. Even if you quit your job, I won't be worried about you."Kirk's straightened back relaxed a little. He caressed Caroline's hair. "Darling, I'll get shy from the way you praise me."Caroline didn't believe
